Sailor gets two-year drug ban

THE Australian Rugby Union (ARU) has terminated Wallaby winger Wendell Sailor’s contract after he was found guilty of taking a prohibited substance and suspended for two years.

The independent tribunal headed by lawyer John Gleeson, which found Sailor guilty, informed him and the ARU of its decision yesterday.

Sailor tested positive for cocaine after playing for the NSW Waratahs in a Super 14 match against the ACT Brumbies on April 16 and was informed of the positive result on May 12.
